Make Your Own First Aid Kit

Always remember that any first aid administered to your pet is literally FIRST aid and should be followed by veterinary care. Many emergencies require fast and correct action to prevent further injury and even save the patient’s life until veterinary care is available.

First Aid Kit –a suitable sized plastic waterproof container

Information on each of your pets to put in the kit

Patient’s medical record (including medications and vaccination history), microchip number if present
